Overall, I think I turned out ok. I would be even better if my mother were not still alive and drinking at age 86.
I am not an alcoholic
I am not a drug addict
I am codependent
I have made bad relationship decisions
I have had anger issues
My codependency is pretty well overcome. My anger only flairs at my mother, she is so mean and nasty that I still find myself reacting...trying to defend myself. Rationally I know that it is a waste of time, still need to overcome this fault.
Relationships? Now live alone and am so very happy and at peace, I have a bad picker, never had any good role models.
